Purpose: This study explores the possibilities of transferring peripheral tactile stimulations
from an artificial hand to the forearm skin. Method: A tactile display applied to the forearm …

OBJECTIVE: Currently available hand prostheses lack sensory feedback. A" phantom hand
map", a referred sensation, on the skin of the residual arm is a possible target to provide …

Objective: Lack of sensory feedback is a drawback in today's hand prostheses. We present
here a non-invasive simple sensory feedback system, which provides the user of a …

Introduction Sensory feedback in hand prostheses is lacking but wished for. Many amputees
experience a phantom hand map on their residual forearm. When the phantom hand map is …

Despite technological advancements, upper limb prostheses still face high abandonment/
rejection rates due to limitations in control interfaces and the absence of force/tactile …

Objective. Tactile afferents in the human hand provide fundamental information about hand-
environment interactions, which is used by the brain to adapt the motor output to the physical …

Background Replacement of a lost limb by an artificial substitute is not yet ideal. Resolution
and coordination of motor control approximating that of a biological limb could dramatically …

This work assesses the ability of transradial amputees to discriminate multi-site tactile stimuli
in sensory discrimination tasks. It compares different sensory feedback modalities using an …

Sensory feedback of grasp forces provides important information about physical interactions
between the hand and objects, enabling both reactive and anticipatory neural control …

A continuing challenge for prostheses developers is to replace the sensory function of the
hand. This includes tactile sensitivity such as finger contact, grip force, object slippage …
